How to Make Spaghetti Alla Siracusana
- Heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 3/4 cup breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crunchy (about 5-7 minutes).
- Transfer the crispy breadcrumbs to a serving bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
- Set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to the skillet.
- Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and the drained, chopped sardines. Cook and stir until the sardines are broken up and heated through (about 3-4 minutes).
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of tomato paste in 2 tablespoons of warm water to create a smooth paste.
- Add the tomato paste mixture and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the sardine mixture. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
- Cook 8 ounces of spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sardine mixture. Toss to coat.
- Add 1/4 cup of the reserved crispy breadcrumbs to the pasta and toss again.
- Serve immediately, with the remaining breadcrumbs on the side for each person to sprinkle over their individual servings as desired.
